The International Space Station could be leaking its reserve oxygen supply! The leakage might lead to various future problems in the spacecraft. Cosmonauts, the crew that is currently aboard ISS, are already intensifying their search for a leak from Russia s Zvezda module on the facility.
TASS, a Russian news agency, explained that the ISS crew of cosmonauts did not notice an air leakage aboard the orbital outpost. For us, it [the air leakage] is actually unnoticeable, said Sergei Kud-Sverchkov, one of the cosmonauts, on Tuesday via TASS. Practically, we don t understand in what part of the intermediate chamber we currently have an extra leak, added a Russian Mission Control Center s specialist via RT Question More.
